Who we are
Praxus Health is a not-for-profit that collaborates with a diverse range of partners to drive meaningful change and improve the health of communities.
By connecting diverse sectors, from public to private, we solve complex health problems and empower communities to take control of their health.
What’s in a name?
We created a new word! The name “Praxus” blends “praxis”—representing the practical application of knowledge into action—and “us”—highlighting our core value of working together.
Why Praxus Health?
Praxus Health acts as a catalyst for change, committed to making a tangible impact. Our collaborative approach unites partners across sectors to address the needs of priority populations, including Indigenous, rural, and remote communities, newcomers, and immunocompromised communities.
We believe that real progress comes from practical, multifaceted solutions tailored to the unique challenges of today’s health landscape. Born out of the urgency of the pandemic, we’ve evolved into an organization dedicated to improving health. Whether it’s advancing cancer screening practices, immunization, expanding access to care, or reshaping health policy, we guide partners through the complexities of healthcare to create sustainable, long-term impact.
